    So its actually not illegal to pay out vacation time then?

    Why wouldn’t you paid when you go on vacation? That’s what vacation is. Its not unpaid time off.

      Yeah, it’s legal to not require people to take vacation time here, but you still are paid for that vacation time, albeit in a way that makes it very easy for you to not have any money during your time off, especially if you’re already struggling financially. Our work culture is much closer to American than European, and I’m personally not a fan of a lot of it. But you will either receive paid time off or money in lieu with the option of having unpaid time off.
